Invalid credential

[Thomasps]

Hi,

Im a newb at using API's but I have successfully used API's with Key authentication a couple of times.
I think I got this code correclty, but no matter what I do, I get this response:
"error": "Authorization Error",
"error_description": "Invalid credential"

My code:
curl --location --request POST 'https://servername:4443/v4/token' \
--header 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
--data-raw 'grant_type=password&username=servernme\username&password=MyPassword2!'

I'm using the same credentials that I use to logon to Veeam Backup Office 365. I have also tried creating new Windows credentials and and made it a member of the Administrators group that has full access to Veeam. Does anyone know whats wrong?

Hello and welcome to the community Thomasps!

Can you please make sure that newly created Windows admin user is listed in Veeam B&R console as Veeam admin? Cheers!

Thanks Dima P.

The user is not listed, but the Administrators group is listed. I have also tried using the only user(admin) we had before I created this new one. I have also tried adding the user directly to the list but that did not help.

I added the new user directly to the list instead of the old one and it worked. Thanks
